deliver me: Psalms 119:41, Psalms 89:20-25, Genesis 32:9-12, 2 Samuel 7:25
Reciprocal: Psalms 119:58 - be merciful
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let my supplication come before thee,.... The same with his "cry" in Psalms 119:169; only expressed by another word, signifying a petition for grace and favour, in an humble and submissive manner; which it is entreated might be received and accepted, as before;
deliver me according to thy word; of promise, such as that in
Psalms 50:15; meaning from all troubles and afflictions; out of the hands of all his enemies, and from the power of sin, Satan, and the world; and from all fears of wrath, ruin, and destruction. Kimchi observes, that this is not to be understood of a deliverance of the body from distress, but of the soul from the stumbling block of sin.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let my supplication come before thee - The word here rendered “supplication” properly means “favor, mercy, pity,” Joshua 11:20; Ezra 9:8; then, that by which favor or mercy is sought - prayer or petition, Psalms 6:9; Psalms 55:1.
Deliver me according to thy word - From my enemies, my sins, my dangers. According to thy promises; according to the arrangements in thy word.
